What are the chances of becoming infected with HIV if he doesn't come inside me?

Whilst research suggests that high concentrations of HIV can sometimes be detected in pre-cum (pre-ejaculate), it is difficult to judge whether HIV is present in sufficient quantities for infection to occur.  To guard against the possibility of infection with HIV or any other STI, it is best to practice safer sex i.e. sex with a condom from start to finish.

Note: If there is an open wound on the penis then the risk for transmission is greatly increased.
